Far-right violence flares in Dublin after five-year-old girl seriously hurt in knife attack

The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “Far-right violence flares in Dublin after five-year-old girl seriously hurt in knife attack” – below is their description.

Violent anti-immigration protesters descended on Dublin city centre on Thursday night after five people were injured in a knife attack outside a school.

At least three small children were injured in the attack in the Irish capital, as well as a man and a woman. A five-year-old girl sustained “serious injuries” and was receiving emergency treatment, police said.

Despite police not revealing the suspected knifeman’s identity or motive, far-Right thugs emboldened by “misinformation” descended on the streets of the capital, setting fire to a police car, a tram and a double-decker bus, among other vehicles, and throwing fireworks at officers.
